OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM -- A Pararescueman and an HH-60G Pave Hawk
helicopter Engineer from the 301st Rescue Squadron prepare to go on a
mission April 8 at a forward-deployed location in southern Iraq. Air
Force pararescuemen, also known as PJs, are the only Department of
Defense specialty specifically trained and equipped to conduct
conventional or unconventional rescue operations. A PJ's primary
function is as a personnel recovery specialist, with emergency medical
capabilities in humanitarian and combat environments. (U.S. Air Force
